Blastoise

Performance Metrics

Blastoise has a reported usage rate of 1.03% and win rate of 44.85% in OU (Over Used) (displayed tier: E). The report covers 09/21/2026 to 10/05/2026, with 149,260 recorded battles. 1,385 wins and 1,703 losses (3,088 recorded team appearances). Usage is recorded team appearances divided by twice the report battle count; win rate is wins divided by wins plus losses for teams containing this Pokemon. Neither metric measures individual strength. Small samples can produce extreme percentages.

Usage Trends

Usage was 1.25% in the first available period (09/21~; n=74,834 team slots) and 0.84% in the last available period (10/02~; n=74,422 team slots), a change of -0.41 percentage points. This endpoint comparison does not describe every intervening period or explain the cause; small samples can fluctuate substantially. Periods without sample counts are excluded. Win rate was 45.51% in the first available period (09/21~; n=936 recorded appearances) and 44.71% in the last available period (10/02~; n=624 recorded appearances), a change of -0.80 percentage points. This endpoint comparison does not describe every intervening period or explain the cause; small samples can fluctuate substantially. Periods without sample counts are excluded.

Rating-band Observations

Across 5 available rating bands, usage ranged from 0.17% (R1397~; n=59,564 team slots) to 1.78% (~R1084; n=60,756 team slots), a spread of 1.61 percentage points. Overall usage was 1.03%. Bands use battle-average ratings, not individual player skill. Missing bands are excluded; differences are descriptive, not evidence of statistical significance.

Recorded Moves

Among the returned moves, Shell Smash has the largest recorded battle count (949; ties may occur). Move counts refer to distinct battles with a recorded use. The displayed percentage divides that count by this Pokemon's recorded team appearances; these counting units differ when both teams contain it. This is not moveset adoption. Unused moves and missing move records cannot be distinguished here. These data do not establish which move is strongest or underused.

Teammate Observations

In the returned frequent-teammate sample: Dragonite: 46.2% wins in 586 recorded pair observations; Torkoal: 48.5% wins in 332 recorded pair observations; Gengar: 44.3% wins in 327 recorded pair observations. These are team-level outcomes with both Pokemon on the roster, not a measurement of synergy. Other teammates, player selection and small samples can affect these percentages.

Opponent-team Observations

Returned higher-win-rate opponent group: Meowscarada: 48.7% wins in 195 recorded pair observations; Clefable: 48.5% wins in 161 recorded pair observations; Gliscor: 48.0% wins in 473 recorded pair observations. Returned lower-win-rate opponent group: Rillaboom: 35.8% wins in 221 recorded pair observations; Darkrai: 36.4% wins in 231 recorded pair observations; Ogerpon-Wellspring: 36.9% wins in 360 recorded pair observations. Wins refer to the team containing the focal Pokemon when the named Pokemon was on the opposing roster. They are not direct one-on-one results or proof of a counter; sample sizes and other team members matter.

Interpretation Limits

These summaries describe the collected battles within the report period. Team composition, player selection, repeated players and incomplete records can affect results. Differences do not establish causation, statistical significance or a recommended build.
